Drehcr for tho peoplo of Dexlngton county, Drohcr having been defented for the Stato senate In tho second primary Tuesday by Dr. D. M. Orosson. Somebody has said, and truthfully said, thut education is the nation a biggest business and by far the nation's most important Business. According to the latest tigures available the total enrollment in educutlonul institutions of the United, States is over twenty-four million. Of' these approximately twenty-one million are boys and girls enrolled in the public schools, while ubout one-half million young men and women aro attending the colleges. Two years iigo the men and women engaged In pub lie school tenchiriK ulone numbered nearly seven hundred thousand. The number Is said to have been less lust r year by about forty thouaund. Yet this array of figures should not produce the impression that the eduea, tlonal machinery of the nation Is in the best condition. Only 75.32 per cent, of the boys and glrlB of from 5 to 18 years uro enrolled In school. It costs tho country Just about $50 u your to train tho pupil in average attendance in the elementary and high schools, while the expenditure per capita of the population is a little more than $7 a year. Yet a survey of statistics for the last half century will show that the country is making great progress in education. An increused Interest on the purt of the federal and State, governments, larger school appropriations and attempt to meet the teacher shortage have been included in educational activity of the lust yeur. Hut apparently the most serious handlcnp upon the schools at tho opening this year is insufficient teachers and a large number of poorly trained teachers. x Xaut year the teacher shortage ftmolinlnri 111 nnnpl? Inrlu Ihnnninil , . with more thun sixty forty thousund teachers poorly trulncd. Along w...? efforts to get more boys and girls into school, more of them to stay in school till their education is reasonably complete und effort to make the school period Itself a profitable investment for youth, must come more financial support of education in goncral. lCducutlon Is tho business of everybody. Once it bocomcs definitely known that Mr. Llryan does not intend to try to help elect Cox and ltoosevelt his Uouthern friends at least will leave him like rats deserting a sinking ship. Prior to the San Francisco convention last July Mr. Bryan still had a considerable hold upon the country, but before the convention was at an ond most of those who were willing to listen to what ho hud to say discovered that he was apparently bent upon ruling the convention or ruining tho party's chances of success In the November elections. The convention refused to allow hint oithor to dictate tho personnel of >* tho ticket or write tho party platform as became men who were sent to San Francisco noi to act as messcnger boys for Mr. Bryan hut to uso their own Judgment In the interest of tho millions of Americans they had been chosen to represent. Then Mr. Bryan, seeing that his day as dictator was dono, began sulking like a spoiled child, used to hnvlng its way about everything, and does not even yet seem to have ma lo up \ ''.Ills mind whether he will support flr Cox and Roosevelt. We do ndt . ' know whother the Northern Democrnts will entertain the same feeling jra of resentment toward Mr. Bryan that 3?hi ?o iuuiiu KfiMiiany in mo nuuut nould he Anally decide to cut loose from the party, but wo cnn assure him that hereafter and forever hie r'ame will be nnnthemn In this section. Always in his races for the presidency, whatever might bo the altitude toward him of other sec^ lions, Mr, Bryan could turn his eyes to the South and, like tho poor old Confederate ^pteran who witnessed a panorama of one of the battles of the Vfhr Between the Sections In which ly? saw the ragged soldiers of Gen. Ijm holding fast although practically pirounded by the enemy, exclaim, JI "Thank God those are my poople and I they 4*111 die before thfey' will give up. hpwayer great the odds." Mr. Bryan always that he could depend I^Hthe South. If there were no reason why he should support ticket his gratitude to iXfl^BCtlon should prompt him to Southern people ' In their need. That hour Is here ^V^Br If the Republican party candidate to the presidency be controlled absolutely' by .?j^^Hh hat$r LKtdge, the Mormon th i hog fa| plutocrat Pen'wSHIA this section will be denied dM I for four years In the I'll mmmmrnfa conduct of the government we muit help maintain. Our forefathers won their Independence from Great Brit- j aln becauso they refused to submit , to taxation without representation In the British parliament Is the South nny better off with the sbctlonal Re- ; publican party in control of tho national government? The Republican party or any other party that would attempt to discriminate against this Motion because it refuses to act honcrtly and vote us it pleases?that party Is not worthy the support of Hie American people and should have to appeal to Hades only for Its support. If Mr. liryan Is the ingrate lie will prove himself should he refuse to support Cox nnd Roosevelt, we hope he will keep out of this section, for our people will not want to see him. ADD TO WORLD'S WONDERS. ChcmlstA In IjiM Year Rave Made Startling Discoveries. To the seven original wonders of Ihe world, American chemists within the last year have added 800 others. The Inventions, discoveries and new processes dug out of the bowels nf the earth, the gases of the air and the chemical properties of the soil within the last 12 months caused gasps of astonisluifont at the convention of the American Chemical so rletyj in session in Chicago, nt which the efforts of 15.000 lending Anierl-" can experts are t?elng unfolded. Looking nt the time when coal deposits may he exhausted, they are exhibiting liquid coal. With the price of petroleum distilled gasoline soaring, they aro making public a new process of distilling I his precious commodity from natural p gas cheaply. A method of delnking printed paper so that it can lie used again Is pot forth as a solution of the print pnpor problem. There Is a n-w" anaesthetic containing the pain killing qualities of morphine and other narcotics, hut whtch leaves the patient with no longing for additional doses, thus eliminating. they say. much of the drug habit problem. They have found a substitute for alcohol In muking flavoring extracts, solving a housewife problem and ? liminnting another source of alcoholic exhilarntion for the thirsty and reckless. And among many, many others, a practical use for the gases Uncle Fnni manufacterod to shoot at the Germans, fiddly enough, the uses of those gases will hit Oormnny anyhow, as the phn<igpno gases are being used to make hlue and preen dyes and for blenching sand to make ''ne optical glasses?fl?oth of which Industries were formerly Germany's preeminently. The range of researches is from Vow to make chickens grow to unusual size to methods of blowing down mountains with high explosives. "The new gasoline has been so perfected," said J. \V. Harrlngtoh, a director of the society, "that thero are now companies In Pittsburgh and OH City, Pa., making it. Natural gas that conies from the wells is distilled to gasoline. Then there Is the new liquid coal. It is made from conl dust, suspended in light oil. It gives out a terrilic heat and iH cheap. Now it Is aimed at industrial needs. but the tlinc will come when it will bo used for household purposes." OTA Ml' OUT HUMAN VUI.TUKKS < orrcspoiidciit Calls for PrDicctlnn of Women ami Girls.
